@CrazySenji Ok, Thanks for the update! I'd noticed that his site was out dated but, I thought he might be taking a break or something. Thank You again. I've got that info written down!! Nancy B.

Good update! It's always nice to hear when things are going well. Also, seems like he is having success with not marking. Well done to all of you!

Now if I can just get a yodel out of him!!!

Hi all,
No yodels yet from the "new guy", but Hakeem (renamed from Dream) & Vi will share the sunny spots now! Unfortunately I let them outside before dinner Sunday to do their business (and thought Vi had caught sight of a squirrel) and they did their B group hunting on a young skunk which was attracted to our freshly mowed lawn…Hakeem got a little on his back which went away with the first dose of Natures Miracle, but Vi got some along the right side of her face around the mouth/muzzle/nose and into the ear...that takes way longer to clear out. She has been skunked once before about 4 years ago and it took weeks for the smell to completely dissappear as it was around her right eye then. So, all you folks loving the wildlife in Vancouver, there IS a downside!

Badgers here are our problem- mine insist in rolling in badgers' poo which has a horrendous smell which clings for weeks, like skunks I assume, if not cleaned off. I too use a specialist product but as you say to clean round the eyes is very tricky. I feel for you!!
The joys of living in the countryside!! Mind you I'd never change it for town life and I expect you feel the same

Sharing sunny spots is nice progress. Too bad about the skunking, though!
-
Just wanted to say a quick hello and say that our basenji girl turned 13 today! Vi is almost toothless after surgery a few weeks ago, but is still trotting around with energy…not bad for the equivalent of a 90+ year old human!
-
Happy birthday to Vi!
She does sound like she has excellent spirit. I know I will not be trotting when I am 90!
-
Happy birthday to Vi! Who needs teeth, anyway?

One time I "babysat" two German Shepherds for a friend who was out of the country for two months. They were out back of their house, which backed up into the woods, and came home totally skunked! One at a time, I took them into the shower with me, put their paws on my shoulders and doused us all in huge cans of tomato juice - after about four whole cans apiece, I washed them with regular dog shampoo, and it did take the smell away, so I recommend tomato juice to everybody whose dog gets skunked. Face and all, they kept their eyes closed so it didn't get in there. I must say however, my husband thought the whole scene was very funny, me in the shower with huge GS's and all that tomato juice to clean off the walls later.:eek:

Sorry for your loss, glad you found our group.
